WEEK THREE
WEEK THREE
28 Guests
You awaken smothered in wonderfully soft blankets. If you are lucky, there is a warm body next to you, but... those are becoming shorter and shorter in supply, aren't they?
It's Monday at ChΓ’teau Ambregris, and you have just arrived here. Whatever clothes you are wearing, whatever injuries you are sporting... They are once again accurate to how you were before this tale began. Whether this leaves you with any urgent matters to take care of or relieved of ailing you had contracted in the 'last' week, the gong of the numerous clocks chimes out indifferently to the hour. Gone is the urgent summons of the past two weeks, with no Witch to greet you.
Rise and shine, and face your 'first' day in your 'new' home! And though you may now think yourself quite familiar with it, maybe another look around wouldn't hurt?
TIME LOOP:
-Characters wake up with the clothes they had with them at their canon point, like in the intro log.
-The state of their bodies is exactly the same as it was on the intro log (for better or worse).
-Any items they accumulated last week are also reset (sorry you'll need to build up your weapon cache again), except items that were given out as event rewards. Please note that the item uses are not reset.
LOCATIONS UPDATED:
- library, gardens
- mud bath β aquarium
- menagerie β photography studio
- grotto β greenhouse

WEEKLY EFFECT
This week every character will have a spirit animal that follows them around like a familiar. The choice of animal is up to you (natural or supernatural), but it should represent them in some way. The animal is restricted in size to that of a large dog and is incorporeal, though it can interact with other spirit animals. As the animal is a representation of their heart and inner self, it might be better at expressing itself than it's owner.
Yes, this is basically daemons. This palace clearly needs more animals for emotional support!

ETC. / GEN DISCUSSION π
no subject
It all feels really complicated...
no subject
[ Blade has said this himself because it is the truth, while holding the wagasa with him. ]
But...tackling it piece by piece should help.
no subject
Do you want them to tell them about that? Did it say anything?
no subject
[ Blade simply says, and then shakes his head. ]
Vanis brought up some interesting points.
Something is changing. It's hard to tell why, but our memories are a clear sign of it. Sabo mentioned it as a theory as well, though that change should add evidence.
This place is also clearly ustable. Maybe we can see how the gaps or cracks in this place can be used to our advantage at some point.
Since the pretender mentioned that there were 'cracks'.
no subject
[ the starry shadow- bird? of course it's a bird. flutters on over to peer down at Sariel and his ant from above. ]
no subject
I guess magic needs all these things to make it work. Though if he just needed to make people happy...why couldn't he tell jokes?
[Is he stupid?]
no subject
[Sylvando approving in another universe.]
no subject
Or maybe he's just not good at being a clown.
no subject
[He's reveling in murder and despair. That's like, the opposite of making people happy??]
no subject
[Buddy needs therapy.]
no subject
His dragon, normally swimming in an orbit around him, is just kind of plopped in a wiggly line a side table beside him, eyes closed. Hard to tell if it's reclining or what. )
no subject
[wandering over...]
Are you okay?
no subject
... It's just a lot to take in. But I guess I'm also a little tired from yesterday.
( Photos....... )
... How do you feel about everything?
no subject
[He does...also feel exhausted.]
[A little pat to the other's head. Pat pat.]
Tired. I still don't know what to think about...yesterday.
no subject
( ish are you listening!!! (he knows ish knows)
The pat surprises him... but it does get him to smile again, a little. The little dragon stirs, and slowly drifts up to flop like a half-made necklace over Sariel's shoulders (and his big ant, if it's chillin there).
... He sets the hot chocolate cup on a nearby table, and then gestures for Sariel to sit....... but like, he's gesturing at his lap/his own chair, )
... Can I have a second?
( looks a little like π₯Ίβ pws? )
no subject
[Hello, mister dragon! He knows there's no use in petting it, but tries to do so anyways. His little ant, waggling its feelers, moves to crawl onto its head.]
[He gives the gesture a little owlish look, before moving over. And here he goes, right in his lap. Ever obedient.]
You can have it.
no subject
( ok so if im calculating correctly this rival event should trigger the vaniel romance development--
Hwy is happy Sariel accepts his whim with no questions asked, and he very firmly wraps his arms around Sariel and half-rests his face into whatever space is available, hugging him very tight. He's adopted Sariel as his emotional support daki because He needs this and maybe he can beam emotional support back into Sariel through hug :(
His dragon was sort of trying to do this, but it was a little too down to manage it... probably reflective of Hwyl's heart right now. )
... Did you make peace with what you saw?
no subject
...Yes. Maybe. Blade said what I saw...were merely like actors.
[It wasn't real. Just people on a stage, reciting lines.]
So it wasn't really him.
no subject
He rests his head against the downy pillow that is Sariel's hair... though concern knits his brow as Sariel speaks. )
... Were your photos of your Deputy Head?
no subject
[The man whose face was in shadow, with a way of talking that seemed so sensual as to be crossing boundaries by itself alone.]
I'm glad it wasn't him. But he said similar things...before.
no subject
... To you? Or...?
no subject
[A little sigh - something in his expression a little withdrawn.]
But as you said. He probably did everything...out of love. I believe that.
no subject
... I think, sometimes, people say things that can be hurtful, and they may not mean it, or they know it, but they feel like they have to say it that way, for reasons that make sense to them.
But, as long as the root of it is love, I think that they're things that can be worked through. It's just one more thing to figure out with him when you meet him again, right?
( Honestly, in context, this advice is probably all right. But god abstracted out into general contexts this is probably terrible advice. Do not attend Hwylryn's school of relationships. Anyway, )
And if there's something you need to scold him for, you should. You can be tough on someone out of love, too, if you need to.
